What the numbers say
In 2025, Equatorial Guinea's GNI (annual % growth) rose 6.95 percentage points on 2024 (from 3.02% to 9.97%).
Across the 18 yearly changes before that (2007 to 2024), the average change was −5.98 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 34.59 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 42.43 percentage points in 2017 and the biggest yearly fall was 95.87 percentage points in 2007. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 13% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
